For whatever reason Intel;s vlc package does not support avc1 video nor aac audio decoding.
Apparently this is due to a patent issue, although other distros do support such .mp4 decoding.
How can I add avc1/aac decoding to the existing intel bundle vlc installation.?
Right now an additional vlc flatpak is installed which plays avc1/aac, but is quite large approaching 2 GB.
It seems to me there should be a way to add avc1/aac decoding to the intel vlc bundle and delete the flatpak.
Can anyone tell me what to modify/add within the linux file structure in order to render both avc1video and aac audio?
Thank you.
